Yang Lu, Year 2 Research. Abstract Algae is an organism that is critical to ocean life. However, an increasingly acidic ocean due to climate change may harm important algae growth. This investigation aims to measure the possible effects of ocean acidification on algae growth. To do this, samples of algae will be grown at different […]

Abrielle Chan, Year 2 Research Abstract In an age where sustainable and earth-friendly methods of living have become more important, methods of conserving water must be investigated.  This project aims to reduce potable water consumption through reuse of greywater for watering household gardens. To ensure that greywater can be used in gardens, Scarlet Runner bean […]

Justin Chan, Year 2 Research Abstract Algae have numerous pharmaceutical, dietary, agricultural, and environmental uses. Microalgae Nannochloropsis occulata has shown this potential for use in agricultural feed, a dietary supplement for omega-3 fatty acids and the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds used to combat cancer. Because of these important properties, it is increasingly important that we […]

Radhika Bajaj, Year 2 Research. Abstract Scientific research on teeth enamel is vital for improving dental care. However, using tooth extractions in studies carries issues regarding costs, convenience, safety, and consent. This experiment focuses on finding a substitution for teeth; it investigates the suitability of eggshells to demonstrate the effects of sugar and pH on […]

Jennifer Tindall, Year 2 Research Abstract As demand for supply goes up, more space and resources are required to meet it. Because of this pressure for mass manufacturing and animal agriculture, there has been an increase in deforestation globally for decades. As a result, some researchers have connected increased malaria cases in Amazonian countries to […]

Chris Hwang, Year 2 Engineering Abstract The winglet, a vertical or angled extension mounted at the tips of each wing as an attempt to control and weaken the generation of vortices that create induced drag, has become popular among modern aircrafts. This project analyzes the aerodynamic performance gains made by winglets. Two variation of a […]

Daniel Kim, Year 2 Engineering Abstract Chemical pollution is a growing issue that prevents access to clean freshwater. Inspired by this issue, this project aims to investigate the efficiency of different natural filters. The two filters that were explored in this investigation were ground coffee beans and charcoal grounds. To test the filtration capabilities, a […]

Martin Tang, Year 2 Engineering Abstract A proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller is one of the most common control loop systems in today’s industry. However, one of the biggest disadvantages of using PID controllers is the requirement for them to be tuned according to the change in the environment. Due to this problem, there are different tuning […]

James Jin, Year 2 Engineering Abstract This project aims to provide a more flexible means of NLP mediated scientific communication. An encoder-decoder recurrent neural network is used in conjunction with attention, written in python. The project output human-readable responses specific to questions, falling within initial expectations despite necessary improvements in handling various sentence lengths. Overall, […]

Robin Yadav, Year 3 Abstract Recently, drones have become useful tools for firefighters. Wildfire drones survey the fire and provide critical monitoring information that firefighters need to reduce wildfire damage. However, human-operated drones are not the most efficient allocation of time and resources for firefighters. Furthermore, they are difficult to operate in high stress situations […]
